[Q] NFC System App Jelly Bean 4.3 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running rooted (SuperSU) Jelly Bean 4.3 and decided to try the update_nfcnci_JSS15J.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391170. I purchased some NTAG203 tags from TagsForDroid and used the Tagstand NFC Task Launcher app to write a few tags. Almost every time I use one of the tags, I get the "Unfortunately, nfc service has stopped" message. The only one that works occasionally is the one that didn't require root to write.
I would like to enable the factory nfcnci.apk, but I'm not sure how to get around the 4.3 system file security measures. Do I have to use ADB? If so, how do I install the factory NfcNci.apk.old app and rename the current NfcNci.apk file to have the .old extension or just remove it completely. Also, are there any other options for reading NFC tags with the screen on, but locked?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Step 02: Change build.prop details to this - (use root explorer)
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
Make sure it has correct permissions still!!
Step 03: Reboot
Step 04: Use MarketEnabler and set your market to US T-Mobile

I have tried this about 30 timed now and it gets stuck at the same point every single time:

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.
Managed to sort it.
Heres how I fixed it... hopefully it will help anyone else with the same problem.
1. Follow the instructions in the op.
2. Download google wallet 1.5-r87-v15 NOT the newer version or any modded version
3. Continue with the instuctions in the op.
If you installed the newer version ending in v13, then 1st clear the cache and data file and stop the program. Then using titanium backup, uninstall it.
Restart your phone and then start the process again using the older version.
Once installed, search google for google wallet, click the play store link and open with play store.
Scroll down until you see a tick box saying allow automatic updates and untick it.
Restart your phone and set it up.

It's not a galaxy nexus, it's just a modded n7100.
There is not a modded wallet in link at prereq step 4 any more. Paul has redone it using an exposed framework hack to patch out the region and device checks now.
I did manage to get wallet working using an older version like previous poster said but I cant setup any cards, I am in the UK.
Is anyone actually able to add cards in a region that google does not support and able to purchase anything using NFC because thats the goal for me, not just to see what I have bought at the play store?
Does anyone have links for modded wallet apks that work, or is it best to get the latest from the market, use the framework to patch out the checks and then convert to a system app?
The latest from the playstore/market not seem to work, it get disabled/frozen when you reboot and hangs at "Setting up Wallet for Purchases" stage after you enable/defrost it.
This is anoying, visa were supposed to be rolling out NFC for purchases, they trialled it at the olympics last year by giving all the competitors smart phones with NFC for payments, so far nothing has happened.
Google are dragging their feet about releasing it officially here in the UK.
AFAIK google still checks the region the card is registered in, so unless you have a card from a region that is supported it wont work.
For now I've given up, I dont want to screw up my secure element on my phone, reset wallet from settings before uninstalling it is supposed to protect against this.

I agree!
I am from Australia and none of these methods work. I have tried flash and unflashing, clearing system, cache everything.
Newer version doesn't get past the setting up wallet for purchases and using the old apps gets stuck at adding my Mastercard.

[Guide] Google Wallet working on Xperia S running DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (JB
[Guide] to get Google Wallet working on Xperia S running DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (Jelly Bean Rom) Android 4.1.2 in New Zealand
I want to start by saying thanks to evilbarcode best post out there However i had to do a few different things to get google wallet 100% work on DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (Jelly Bean Rom) Android 4.1.2
REQUIREMENTS:
1: Xperia S running DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (Jelly Bean Rom). A similar method would probably work for others.
2: Root Access
3: MarketEnabler from here
4: Root Explorer from PlayStore/Market
5. BACK UP! use Titanium Backup ★ root from the play store if you have no idea how to back up you phone. this will save you a lot of time if something goes wrong.
Guide
1) download the latest google wallet app from the xda post "Google wallet fix for SGS3 US variants AT&T, T-MOBILE, US Cellular, VERIZON, etc". usecom.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel.modaco.1.6-R96-v13.zip - [Click for QR Code] (4.60 MB, 1781 views) which is/was the latest and put the
2) Use root explorer and mount as r/w. you must mount as r/w (it is an option in root explorer. look and you will find it)
3) go to /system/ and look for build.prop
4) open with text editor in Root explorer
5) within the file, search look for ro.xxxx, not ro.sem.xxx. look for exactly below.
so Only change the ro.product. fields here. so it should look like
ro.product.brand=SEMC
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
ro.build.tags=release-keys
you will also notice that ro.product.model= doesnt exist. ADD IT!
Note: If you stuff this part up you will probably get a boot loop (i did first time) and then you would have been wishing you backed up
6) Use MarketEnabler and set your market to US T-Mobile
7)put the google wallet application from the zip file from prereq step 1 to /system/apps and set permission to 644. if you dont under stand what the numbers mean google it.
8) go to setting,more and check nfc and under wallet select google
9) reboot
10)make sure you clear all goolge wallet ap data and uninstall any previous versions of google wallet
11) install the app you have just put in /system/apps
12) open the app
14) after you get google wallet to work then launch root explorer
15) go to /system and rename the build.prop to build.prop.ori
16) rename build.prop.bak to build.prop
17) the last 3 steps will stop your phone from thinking its a Galaxy Nexus
18) reboot
Done!
Notes This is not required for the app but usefull. Boot to recovery enabled. use X-Parts from the play store and also install doomrecovery based on clockworkmod recovery on sony xperia s. I wouldnt find the [Xperia S] DooMKernel (v01) on that site and ended up getting version 4 from another page. also if you run version 4 dont install the modules. you don't need to and when i did it messed up my wifi.
Note: for DooMLoRD pre-rooted 6.2.B.0.211 (Jelly Bean Rom) i couldn't boot into recovery for some reason which is a pain in the ass but the above works.
I would add links if i could but i am new to xda
My problem
The app works fine and I have my kiwibank visa debit card loaded onto it (which is a new zealand visa debit card). I went into countdown (a supermarket if your not in new zealand which supports contactless payments) . I put my phone up the the terminal and my phone vibrates and says processing the eftpos machine says processing then my phone and the machine say declined. Not because i am poor . Then the eftpos machine says please contact your bank.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
does the card loaded onto my google wallet account have to support contactless payment?
my speculation is that kiwibank dont support visa paywave only mastercard paypass and i dont have a mastercard paypass card, so i am thinking that i might need to enable contactless payment with my bank account.

This took AGES! to work for me. it was sitting on "Setting up Wallet for purchases" for maybe 5 to 10 minutes but it eventually worked !
just wait, then wait some more. I have got it fully working twice just to give you some confidence and i live in new zealand.
Google check what country the card is registered in, or so I am lead to believe by other posts. If the card is from an unsupported country it wont work. If NZ is an unsupported country this would tend to seem like that the country check is not an issue now, as you got as far as attempting payment.

S4 Mini i9190 root done - I confirm

Dear i9190 owners
I have applied the root method of the i9195 to my i9190 and the root suceeded. use the same files and the same recovery but apply the su application using recovery instead downloading it from the market.
My i9190 now is rooted and works perfectly.
kind regards
Update:
after you install the kernel and recovery and the su app you might get an annoying message saying : Detection Information - The device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions. To protect your device, it is recommended you reboot"
to stop this message from appearing do this :
1. Use File Manager with root explorer instead and mount SYSTEM as WRITABLE.
2. Go to: /data/data/ look for com.sec.knox.seandroid and rename it to 000.knox.seandroid or whathever you wish.. Same thing applies to com.sec.knox.store
3. Go to: /system/app/ and DELETE: KNOXAgent.apk, KNOXAgent.odex, KNOXStore.apk, KNOXStore.odex
4. Restart
Tips? Help plz

I applied the root of this thread exactly and didn't see any troubles. [RECOVERY][ROOT] Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9195)
my phone works perfectly and rooted and has recovery.
I think you need to flash stock firmware and apply the root again from the above thread of i9195
by the way .. after the root if you download the su application from the play store it will not work. you need to flash it through recovery.
I checked recently the recovery/boot files of both models I9190 and I9195.
The partitions is exactly the same, and the addres of them too. (mmcblkxx)
it's also the same harware except the nfc and the lte, so there is nothing to fear.
Hello,
I intend to purchase a S4 Mini and turn it "Google Edition", but I have some questions regarding it.
What implications does it have? I assume the touchwiz specific functions will not work, but will the phone/android specific functions work? GPS, navigation, google maps, etc?
Can the functionality of the camera and music player be improved with apps (like more camera options that touchwiz has, but not a Google edition)? I'd like to use the active notification app, will I be able to?
Since Android is free, will I get the latest automated updates as soon as it hits the Nexus?
Here is the rooting tutorial, does it tell all that is to know?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
This tutorial has a video, but is for the i9505, can it still be used as a guideline?
http://www.technobuffalo.com/videos/how-to-turn-a-galaxy-s4-into-a-google-edition-phone/
There isn't a Google edition rom for the S4 Mini. You should just flash CyanogenMod 10.1 on it if you want something like that. All the functions you mentioned are working on CM10.1.
The camera in Google stock roms (upon which CM is based) has less features than the Samsung stock camera.
The activenotification app works fine on CM. TouchWiz is the interface used in Samsung stock roms and does not exist on these custom roms based on the Google stock roms.
Thanks. What I mean to say is that I want to install stock Google android (4.3) on the phone and get rid of touchwiz. I need to get more information about CyanogenMod to decide,
I'm sure it has neat features, but all I need really is a phone the size of the S4 mini and to run stock android on it (hence my decision to go with it, otherwise I could buy one of the google edition phones right away). I just wondered if it still has stuff like navigation and if the camera would work normally and such. Also whether I would get the automatic updates of android or am stuck with the version I installed.
Are you planning to get the LTE version? CyanogenMod 10.1 is currently only available on the LTE model.
You should read about what CyanogenMod is about @ http://www.cyanogenmod.org/about
I feel that it suits your needs
The one I'm getting is LTE.
So with the CyanogenMod I can still have that pure stock Google android look, but can change themes and stuff? Having choices and options is great but I want that pure and simple 100% stock android look.
I wonder how stable it is and how do I update that? Do I need to flash it each time? Stock android gets automatic updates, but if I use CM, than I don't want to fiddle around with installing updates again risking data and the phone.
I see 10.2 (4.3) is out.
Custom roms need to be tailored for each phone. There is only 10.1 available for the GT-I9195 for now. Support for 10.2 will come later when 10.1 is more stable.
There are automatic update notifications for updates to CyanogenMod. The latest builds commonly are based on the latest version of that Android release available on open source.
Incremental CyanogenMod updates don't wipe your data.
I put CM10.1 on it. I love the stock google look, so much more pleasant. The set of options is great.
Thanks to arco68 for the rooting tutorial and you for the rom installation.
I didn't backup the previous rom though, is there a way to reset it if necessary?
Is there a way to use the "System/Notification drawer/Widget buttons" on the "Lock screen/Slider shortcuts"?
I'd like to use the "Go to sleep" function by sliding the lock screen to the left to shut off the screen as opposed to sliding it left to unlock.
I tried some lock screen apps. Two work excellent, just as I want, but the one wakes screen up right after shutting it and the other stays open as app in the background. A third works but not so great.

Transfering Samsung Apps from non-rooted phone to a rooted phone with Cleanrom.

I have 2 Galaxy S4 phones, one is the Active and one is standard S4. I use the Active on another line and switch sims when I want to use it on my main line, usually when I go boating or outdoors.
The standard S4 is rooted and has Cleanrom on it. The S4 Active is stock with the stock apps but is also rooted with the stock Rom. There are 2 Apps that I want to add to my standard S4 and I have tried to move them over but they seem to fail to install.
The 2 apps im trying to move are Optical Read and S Memo which are Samsung only apps meaning they come stock on the phone and you cannot download them from the play store. I used an app called APK Share and backup which seemed to do a good job of backing up both apps. I then transferred them over from one phone to the next and tried to install them. Both apps seem to be a complete APK file and when I go to install them they go all the way through the installation process and right at the end all it says is "App not installed"
I also tried using Titanium backup which failed as well. It gets all the way to installing the app on the phone and then freezes and does nothing. I thought for sure Titanium backup would work but no go.
S memo is the one I really want to have installed since I use a Note 8.0 to take all my business notes on which I would like to view on my Rooted Galaxy S4.
Anyone have any idea why these apps wont install or any other ideas I might try to move these apps over. It seems like it should be a pretty simple process since they are both Galaxy S4s but I guess not.
Did you try and fix permissions on the s4 in your recovery after you copied the apps. I'm assuming you took the apk from the active and copied into /system/app on the s4.

[Q] S Heatlth App malfunctioning after Rooting & Bloatware elimination

Long story short: Coming close to insanity from all notifications (but not wanting to miss e-mail and sms/whatsapp, I rooted my G900FXXU1ANG2 in order to use NotifyClean.
I, hence, also installed the Xposed framework. Subsequently, installed NoBloat and backed up and deleted a number of System apps.
Much to my demise, however, one of my favorite apps, S Health now malfunctions popping an "Unfortunately, S HealthService has stopped".
I have restored just about everything I have had backed up and deleted except for fonts, weather stuff and print services.
Still can't get the app back to it's original state. The best I have managed to achieve is to have the app run but unable to save my (profile) data (which renders the app rather useless).
I have also tried setting the app back to its original state (uninstall updates + force stop) and updating it again from Samsung.
Alas, no dice.
Can anyone help?
ST
http://gs5.wonderhowto.com/how-to/f...hes-when-using-xposed-your-galaxy-s5-0157344/
It's due to an incompatibility with Xposed framework. Search xda forum and you will find the work around solution (don't remember where I read it). But there is a solution!
